HC Deb 04 March 1985 vol 74 cc354-5W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will take up with the European Commission the subsidy provided to research in leather in Italy by a levy on imports.

Mr. Fletcher

My understanding is that a levy is imposed both on domestic production and on imports. If the hon. Member has any particular problem in mind and sends me details, my right hon. Friend the Minister for Trade would be happy to consider the matter further.
